warm absurdity

——I really like Woody Allen's dark humor, it feels very warm, very calm, shallow, and memorable.
What does philosophy mean? Means a lot, means thinking, restless. What does a melancholy philosophy teacher mean to a young female college student who has not yet been deeply involved in the world? It means infinite charm, and the love generated by charm. Most of the scenes in the movie are so warm and happy. Everything just wants to be the warmest sunshine in the noon, you hide in the warm bed and don't want to wake up...
Maybe all perfect stories will not last forever, not fairy tales, something will always happen. When the young girl found out that her philosophy teacher was so horrible, a murderer, she couldn't take it at all. The teacher's image has completely changed, completely contrary to her beliefs. People always stick to their beliefs when they are young, even if they don't know what it means. When you are old you will find that you need a faith before you die, and then you don't care what faith means.
Everyone has their own dreams, their own personality, their own independent world. What we are all sticking to is something that cannot be touched or compromised... I
suddenly remembered more than 10 years ago, when I came to the university from my hometown again, and it was only a few months after graduation. I suddenly felt that the four The place I have stayed in is so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar. An inexplicable sadness flooded into my heart, and I found that my college days, even my student days, had come to an end, and I was very sentimental at that time. Later, I went to graduate school, and I didn’t have time to spend with my classmates. I was busy every day, and I didn’t have a dormitory. I just lived in a daze and graduated in a daze. Thinking about it now, we have been saying goodbye to many things in life. There will come a day when we will look at the world indifferently, continue to live well, or say our final goodbyes.
Philosophy is a painful process. Like life, the male protagonist has been wandering and saying goodbye. In the end, he got serious and made a hasty farewell to the world with practice. That's how life is, there's never that much for granted, it's always just absurd, darkly humorous, heavy, or just a particularly flat life...

Irrational Man quotes

  • [first lines]

    Abe: [narrating] Kant said human reason is troubled by questions that it cannot dismiss, but also cannot answer. Okay, so, what are we talking about here? Morality? Choice? The randomness of life? Aesthetics? Murder?

    Jill: I think Abe was crazy from the beginning. Was it from stress? Was it anger? Was he disgusted by what he saw as life's never-ending suffering? Or was he simply bored by the meaninglessness of day-to-day existence? He was so damn interesting. And different. And a good talker. And he could always cloud the issue with words.

    Abe: Where to begin? You know, the existentialists feel nothing happens until you hit absolute rock bottom. Well, let's say that when I went to teach at Braylin College, emotionally, I was at Zabriskie Point. Of course, my reputation, or should I say a reputation, preceded me.

  • Abe Lucas: Jill had been right in her appraisal of me. I was teetering on the brink of some kind of breakdown, unable to deal with my feelings of anger, frustration, futility. They say that drowning is a painless way to go.
